NECKTlE-SHIELD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,184, datedSeptember 20, 1881. Application filed June 22, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WERNER W. FICHTEN- BERG, of the city, county, andState of New York, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement inBrace and Shaping Pieces for Neekwear-Shields; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full and exact description of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification.

The object of my invention is to produce a brace and shaping piece forneckwear-shields which shall be made of corrugated metal in order tocheapen the cost of manufacturing said brace and shaping piece, and alsoto produce a better and more etfectire brace than has been doneheretofore.

My invention consists in taking a narrow piece of metal, either flatorround, and corrugating it, and then laying it horizontal upon one sideof the shield of a neckwear and fastening it thereto in any suitablemanner.

It also consists in taking a similar piece of corrugated metal andlaying it horizontally and obliquely on one side of the shield andfastening it thereto in any suitable manner. In this case the angular oroblique portion of the brace-piece will serve as a holder for a pin, orwhen the metal used is round a pin-point can be fastened or welded ontoit.

To further describe my invention more fully I refer to the drawings, ofwhich- Figure 1 is afront view of a neekwear-shield with the corrugatedbrace and shaping piece attached thereto horizontally. Fig. 2 is afrontview of a neckwear-shield with the corrugated brace and shaping pieceattached thereto horizontally and obliquely and with pin attached.

A represents the shield; B, the brace and shaping piece, made of flat orround metal and corrugated, as shown. This corrugated brace and shapingpiece B is either laid upon the shield A horizontally, as shown in Fig.1, or horizontally and obliquely, as shown in Fig. 2, and is fastened tothe shield in any suitable manner; and the object of placing the brace Bhorizontally and obliquely is that the oblique part a can or may be usedas a holder for the pin (1, but the pin is only fastened to the part 0'when the brace is made of flat metal, but when the brace B is made ofround metal the pin 11, made out of the oblique part c of the brace B ora separate point, may be welded on.

The object of making the brace and shaping piece B corrugated is that ofcheapuess, for the said braces can be made of lighter metal; second,usefulness, for thebrace can be used to better advantage and made toconform more easily to the shape required.

That I claim is The corrugated brace and shaping piece B, placed uponthe shield A horizontally or horizontally and obliquely, as shown, incombination withv the shield A, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.
